I wasn't comparing the two anyways I was talking about the Chiefs making noise in the playoffs, not really at the expense of the Broncos. However, I could see the Broncos fold in the playoffs.

Stats don't tell the whole story. I'll just leave it at that.
At the end of the season, I believe the Broncos D will be ranked far above where they are now.
That Dallas game is really skewing things and when you are missing 5 starters on D after the first 5 minutes of the game you generally are going to be impacted negatively.
I'm not saying they're lights out. But they are a better defense than most people give them credit for. Especially with Miller back.
